Kanreki Hime - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Shared House

[Idoru-x]

A very strong start, and it seems like the first chapter's making waves in Twitter Japan. Good for Oku.

Regarding the characters, am I the only one who thinks the tall one is gay? He really kept a close eye on the waiter.

A fantastic glimpse into my future.

"One of us should turn into a girl."
Ayo bro???

We have had all these share-room manga with multiple girls/women, but now we are getting the opposite.

 

[Idoru-x]

I'll bet none of those girls ever said 'One of us needs to become a 60-year old man.'

 

[AcidVlad]

Kino.

I thought it was because of how they get differential treatment because they are ugly old men. He just stares at them and says nothing but he shows a (mandatory) friendly smile to other customers. A stark reminder that the world is not kind to a freak like him (old, freakishly tall, not conventionally attractive).

 

[Idoru-x]

You´re right, EVERYONE is uncomfortable over the group of old men at their nice little dinner for young people.

Predictions:

• One of the dudes wanted to be a girl in the first place.
• Attempt of sexual assault:
• Some want to "protect" the "purity".
• Trouble with outsiders (police, other friends...).

• all but one of them becomes girl

is this a clip from an actual 1960s/1970s anime or did they manage to recreate the art style well? talking about first few pages on the TV

Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer is a real anime movie based on the manga Urusei Yatsura. It's a continuation of the anime series that's also based on that same manga. It's by Rumiko Takahashi, the same mangaka responsible for Ranma ½ and Inuyasha.

what a wild last page, seems like it'd be a setup to a hentai XD

even old men can be cute girls i guess, but sex/gender reassignment surgery is a thing unless it's risky at their age or so

really detailed art. feels like it's been so long since i've last seen such quality

 

[traplolihunter]

Wouldn't be certain about the "but", he got his start in erotic and romantic genderbend manga, could be going back to it with less conventional characters. We'll just have to wait and see...

I was re-reading the first chapter and I'mma say bro was right ts is darker than we thought

For now I'd say it's not gotten too bad, I expected some commentary on objectification and assault. What I noticed most when rereading is they don't seem much happier than before Goh was a woman, so I'm hoping for some acknowledgment that the desire was shallow and selfish and has consequences much larger than they'd anticipated.
